this is the evening edition. we are beginning in san francisco where the police department now says it has completed reform efforts launched in the wake of several high profile killings. >> thanks for joining us this evening. i'm anne makovec in for ryan and liz. the department says it has completed 272 reform goals and has now submitted that data to the california justice department for review. data released by the city today shows a 65% drop in use of force incidents between 2016 and 2022, but the number of police shootings is on the rise dropping from a low of two during the pandemic in 2021 rising to five shootings in 2023. wilson walker has a look at the progress the department has made in its reform efforts and where there is still room for improvements. >> my name is felicia jones. i am the founder of wealth

indisparities in the black community. >> reporter: for felicia jones the ceremony at city hall was a milestone in a journey that started years ago having been pushing for greater accountability for police since the shooting of mario woods in 2015. >> even though it may be a world stage in regards to the super bowl, it has to be a world stage in justice. >> reporter: nearly a decade later here she was leading a cheer in a room full of police officers marking what everyone agrees is a step and not a finish line. >> it's not perfect, but we have finished. >> reporter: san francisco police say they essentially finished all 272 reforms recommended by state and federal justice departments, mayor london breed an n an election year and the chief of police describing it as a milestone accomplished in spite of headwinds. >> we not only continue to push forward with this work and made it happen, we did so during a

challenging time after a global pandemic where we saw crime start to skyrocket. >> you make the adjustments to keep the balance there like what prop e and the voters voted for, it's achievable, but our policy still has to provide guidance for us to do things in the spirit of what this reform initiative is all about. >> reporter: jones says this was a day to mark progress in an effort that does not end for san francisco or any other city. >> we are doing better than some, you know, and as the mayor said and as chief said, as an activist, the work continues. it's not perfect, but the work continues. >> reporter: the chief actually invoked the rodney king beating and the rampart scandal in los angeles as a way of casting this as something that is happening in many different places and a continuum really over generations now. as for the final 27 recommendations submitted by the city, they are awaiting final approval.

the san francisco public defender's office released a statement saying in part, "question find it difficult to celebrate this milestone when the sfpd still disproportionately stops, searches, and uses force on people of color, particularly black san franciscans and when officers represented by the police officers association have resisted reforms intended to redace racial bias." last month san francisco voters approved prop e which will reduce the number of use of force incidents that officers are required to report. later at 5:00, we'll show you how criminals in one east bay step city are taking advantage of an onagain police staffing crisis. to our weather now, things will change in a big way as we look over the city of san francisco. we have a rainy saturday on the way. >> it's coming in two different phases, anne. saturday morning is the rainier

part of the day. then saturday evening could be a little more interesting. let me give you the big picture view. first alert doppler sees the rain on the far northwest coast. we put into the futurecast detail. now you can see how much more is off the coast, too far away from any land based radar to see, but the high powered high resolution models know it's there. that's tomorrow morning in the wide band of stead dip rain between 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. 8:00 in the morning there's a little break actually, a little window through the late morning where there may not be a whole lot going, on but we aren't done because the center of the storm is coming in later in the

afternoon. the evening might get more interesting because now we're closer to the center of the system and it's going to have isolated thunderstorms mixed in. that's the main focus for this. we'll go into much more detail on this and slow everything down and have a closer look. i'll have another review in the full forecast. tomorrow is a first alert weather day because of this. search teams have likely found the body of a child swept away by fast moving waters in the russian river. a family called around 5:00 yesterday evening reporting two missing children in the water in forestville. a 15-year-old was saved, but they could not find the other child believed to be about 10 years old. a body was found in the search area. the coroner is working to confirm that that was the missing child. abandoned vehicles are becoming a big problem all over the south bay. now one mayor is taking action. >> far too often these complaints have been either sent to the wrong department at the city or passed around like

a lot potato. >> at 5:30 the new program aimed at reducing blight in neighborhoods in san jose. within the last few hours vice president kamala harris delivered a fiery speech in arizona after that state supreme court decided that a civil war era abortion ban can be enforced. danya bacchus has the latest on what could be the deciding factor in the presidential race. >> reporter: speaking at a neighborhood center in tucson, arizona, vice president harris laid the civil war era law at the feet of former president trump. >> it's the opening act of a larger strategy to take women's rights and freedoms. former president donald trump did this. >> reporter: the vice president is campaigning in the battleground state just days after arizona's supreme court upheld the abortion ban from

1864 when arizona was not a state and women could not vote. trump has urged the arizona legislature to add exemptions for rape and incest to the law. during a press conference with house speaker mike johnson, trump said abortion legislation should be left up to the states. >> and a judge made a ruling, but that's going to be changed by government. they'll be changing that. >> reporter: the issue could drive voters to the polls this november. organizers say they have the signatures needed for a ballot question this fall that would protect abortion rights in the state's constitution. >> i will vote to rescind what has been done the last couple days and to give every woman the right to choose. >> we're excited that lives can be protected and saved. >> reporter: seven states are considering similar questions and three states have already approved them. >> the supreme court is expected to rule on whether medical abortions should be restricted by late june. israel is bracing for an attack from iran and u.s.

officials say that could come at any moment. the impending attack is in retaliation for a deadly airstrike on the iranian consulate in syria. tehran insists the strike was carried out with permission of the u.s. now a u.s. official tells cbs news iran's revolutionary guard completed preparations to launch drones and missiles into israel. >> tensions are at an extreme high now. the move to strike the embassy annex of the iranians was extremely provocative. >> president biden made it clear the u.s. stands ready to support israel if they are attacked. still ahead, san francisco's chinatown looked more like a ghost town during the pandemic, but now the crowds are slowly starting to come back, how business owners are hoping new night markets will provide a big jolt to the neighborhood. >> it definitely makes a very happy feeling. you see them

enjoying chinese food. it's a great feeling. hackers have breached a popular streaming company based in the south bay, how they might be using that data. the work we're doing is actually making a difference. >> and the creative new service making sure reusable and hard to recycle items don't end up rotting in the landfill.

here in california things like prescription bottles, bread tags and pizza boxes end up in the recycling bin when they shouldn't. the practice is known as wish cycling. tonight devin fehely explains how a new startup hopes to catch what falls through the cracks. >> reporter: early mornings when juan lopez heads to his truck, the young man already feels inspired. >> it's very noticeable that the work we're doing is

actually making a difference. >> reporter: a big difference by diverting waste from landfills. >> a lot of positive progress towards a better future and a better i guess mindset towards recycling and where your trash is going. >> reporter: juan works for ridwell. the name says it all. now in the bay area business is booming. >> my drivers are doing about 50 to 120 stops a day. that's a ten-hour day four days a week. >> reporter: ridwell aims to keep hard to recycle items and reusable stuff out of landfill. it's a daunting task. reports show only 32% of waste is properly recycled or composted. most ends up rotting in the dump which in turn creates methane, a potent greenhouse gas. >> a lot of people, myself included, were recycling things that couldn't be recycled, made me feel really guilty to know maybe perhaps a whole recycling load would be ruined because something was in there that shouldn't have been. >> reporter: tara lee in san

jose now uses ridwell to augment her curbside service. >> they have little bags nicely labeled to let you know what can go in. >> reporter: she sorts items into different cloth bags provided by ridwell. >> lots of things that cannot be recycled in our normal recycling stream, light bulbs, batteries. we could take batteries to hazardous waste, but that's an extra trip, right? gas, time. this is picked up at the house. >> reporter: pickup day she places the bags into a small outdoor bin where workers retrieve them. he takes the sacks, returns to his truck and sorts each bag into its proper bin. >> i just got a text that says i did it. i'm saving the world one plastic bag at a time. >> reporter: as to where all that stuff goes -- >> if there's a partner who can recycle it, we will seek them up and pick it up from people's door steps. >> reporter: the ceo and founder of ridwell works with regional and national partners to find solutions and will breathe new life into the

waste. take, for example, plastic bags which don't go into most curbside recycling bins. >> this is a piece of trex, what our plastic film gets transferred into. we put it in our warehouse in bales and send it to nevada and it gets turned into this material a lot of people make decks out of. >> reporter: some are dropped off at a bay area nonprofit called make it home. >> the best goodies we get from ridwell, we get lots of kitchen utensils and we also get lots of pots and panels and bakeware and kitchen items that are expensive to purchase and really hard to recycle. >> reporter: each year americans throw more than 12 million tons of furniture into landfills. make it home reusessable items find them new homes. >> we're serving people who have survived domestic violence. we're serving foster kids who are aging out.

>> reporter: ridwell costs 14 to $24 a month. hannah says it's well worth it. >> i think it's well worth it to pay for ridwell on top of the existing city waste pickup because i know there are more things that are kept out of the landfill that way. >> reporter: hoping to make a difference one pickup at a time. >> so ridwell says its internal data shows that the service has diverted more than 20 million pounds of waste from landfills over the last five years. for more information on the program and to find all of our project earth stories, head to our website, kpix.com. communities in big sur could be stuck with limited highway access for weeks to come after caltrans announced the first stage of work to repair a damaged section of highway 1 will likely take several more weeks. a portion of the highway south of rocky creek bridge collapsed during last month's storms and since then traffic in and out of the area has been limited to twice daily convoys and it's expected to stay that way until the road is better stabilized. people

who live around there say a full reopening cannot come soon enough. >> it will be good, you know. it's better than not being able to get home and get into town when you need to, yeah. people are hurting down there. >> the county of monterey says more than 500 vehicles joined their convoys each day. all state parks in the big sur area have been closed to visitors. let's get another check on our weather forecast because we're getting a little bit of a blast from the winter past just when we thought it was in the rear view mirror with all these beautiful days we've had, a string of them. >> not done. winter's coming back. we kind of noticed the transition today. first thing check out the view out our window. not only does this day look different with all the clouds, this day is already about 15 degrees cooler. these are current numbers. look at the north bay's temperatures there dipped back down to the upper 50s even. there's a lot

of low 60s and mid-60s on here. those numbers for the inland valleys when we were doing this yesterday at this time were in the low 80s. in some cases this is a 20-degree drop and we aren't done because tomorrow these numbers are going down about another 5 or 6 degrees. many locations tomorrow are not going to get out of the upper 50s. let's get into the details on this system coming our way. we already can see the rain showing up off the far northwest coast. let's come in for a close-up look and skip ahead. watch the time. we'll put this into the forecast imagery. now we're looking ahead a little bit of time here, only going ahead to 7:00. that way we can track the leading edge of the rain. there's a chance for some rain late tonight in the north bay, but that is not much. this is when we start to get into the rain that's a lot more noticeable. it's not like torrential downpours, but it's going to be widespread steady rain, all the streets bay-area wide going to be slick, make about a half inch of rain generalized just through tomorrow morning for some of

our wetter spots. this is 2:00 a.m. you see the timestamp on the upper right-hand corner? we'll watch that as we play this forward. as we get towards the 4:00 hour now it's coming right across the golden gate. by the 6:00, 7:00 hour that initial line is starting to move east and almost out of the bay. it will still be in the tri-valley. that is light snow falling on mount hamilton. once we get past that, watch the little break. look at that opening. so 10:00 a.m. tomorrow it could be a bit of a head fake because you'll step outside and go well, that's done, only it's not because the second phase of the storm will come in. what could be the more interesting one, you can see the rotation. this is the center of the system, counterclockwise spin. i'm going to stop it here, 6:00. from that time frame from like late afternoon through early evening between like 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 tomorrow night this is when we get the possibility for maybe an occasional thunderstorm to come through. in either case it will be a bit

of an uptick in the action, maybe somewhat heavier showers that will come through. saturday evening could be one of the more interesting time frames just because if you get an isolated thunderstorm, you get small hail. that's really the two main parts of this storm. technically there is a chance on sunday we could get a straggler come through. sunday afternoon you can see it come down from the north. there's not a lot to that, kind of falls apart. sunday is a much better day from a rainfall standpoint. we can't take rain out of the forecast completely, but most likely if you've got outdoor plans sunday, you'll be good to go. just stay on top of the forecast because there is always a chance of a scattered shower to come through sunday. look at the rainfall totals. most of that is going to fall between 1:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, but the isolated scattered showers will add a little more on top of that for a little more rain to go. that covers

the rain aspect here. when we get back together in the next half hour, we'll take a look at the snow side of this. this is not a big snowstorm for the sierra, but it's going to put a little more snow on mount hamilton. how is that for spring whiplash? it was in the 80s yesterday and tomorrow morning there's going to be light snow on mount hamilton. sunday looks a lot worse than it needs to on here, scattered showers, yes possible, but sunday's a better day. look at the warm-up, right back to 80 again by the middle of next week. i'll see you with another look at this in the next half hour. coming up next, the night market returns to san francisco's chinatown in just minutes, how the event could play a big role in revitalizing that area. >> i want chinatown to be wealthy, to be full of life and that's very fulfilling for me. plus the u.s. supreme court taking up a case that supporters say could drive down the cost of housing in california.

a popular night market series has been drawing thousands of people to chinatown and tonight it's kicking off right about now, as a matter of fact. why community leaders are hoping the now monthly event might be just the ticket to revive the neighborhood's struggling small businesses. >> reporter: the scene at 10:00 a.m. in chinatown, but look around. the streets are still mostly empty and a lot of shops haven't even opened. seeing the street like this sounds like it makes you a little sad. >> oh, my god. there used to be tons of people there on the coffee shop. >> reporter: for lauralee, a long time chinatown resident and owner of this print shop, the closed stores are a sign of

the long pandemic hangover that the neighborhood is still recovering from. like the rest of the city's downtown, customers just haven't come back to chinatown in the same numbers, some scared off by crime concerns, including incidents of anti asian hate. >> there's no business, so why open your doors? >> reporter: the slow recovery causing some to worry about the future of the neighborhood. enter the night market which has now become a source of hope for laura and other locals, too. the idea is simple. local merchants spread out onto grant street and create a walkable celebration of chinatown culture and cuisine. laura yelling herself hoarse trying to sell tickets for her sister's tea shop. a similar event last november was a major hit. organizers decided to bring it back this year on a

monthly basis. the hope, to draw more customers into chinatown and keep them coming back. >> oh, it definitely makes a very happy feeling. you see them enjoying chinese food, enjoying boba. it's a great feeling. >> reporter: beyond the night market, there's another source of optimism. a younger generation of chinatown business leaders bringing new energy and new ideas to the neighborhood. >> we're in a period of time when people are really thinking of innovating and how that next step will look. >> reporter: cynthia huey, president of san francisco's small business commission, and also opened up this new gift shop in chinatown called on waverly. it's got hip decor, stylish art and unlike a lot of chinatown businesses, you can find it on instagram. this shop is kind of like another evolution. >> as communities, we need

people to come in and serve community members and be part of the neighborhood. >> reporter: that community solidarity that she's talking about, it's definitely on full display at the night market. >> you guys need to buy tickets? >> reporter: a whole army of volunteers turned out to help, set up and tear down, some staying well past midnight. >> i grew up in chinatown. i was emigrating here and that's where the passion comes. i want chinatown to be wealthy, full of life and that's very fulfilling for me. >> reporter: so many pitching in for chinatown, laura and other locals are feeling hopeful that the neighborhood will bounce back. taking a live look at downtown oakland where first fridays is underway again after a three-month hiatus. a stretch of telegraph avenue is blocked off car free for the popular arts and community celebration. the event that usually draws crowds of up to 30,000 of all ages was briefly shut down because of a lack of money, but

tonight the party is going until 9:00 p.m. coming up next here at 5:00, a new fight against blight in the south bay, how san jose is hoping to help people who are fed up with abandoned vehicles all over the streets. >> i see a lot of things that need to be fixed in the city of san jose, abandoned cars being one of them. criminals targeting one bay area city where police staffing is desperately low, how residents are now trying to protect themselves. and then you have the shimmering lights of the lamps and the paintings almost coming to life. >> the lost artwork just uncovered in an ancient city where archeologists have been digging for ce

nothing dims my light like a migraine. with nurtec odt, i found relief. the only migraine medication that helps treat and prevent, all in one. to those with migraine, i see you. for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. don't take if allergic to nurtec odt. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. it's time we all shine. talk to a healthcare provider

about nurtec odt from pfizer.

right now at 5:30, impact fees are often blamed for driving up the cost of housing in california, why they could soon be a thing of the past. a san jose is declaring war on abandoned vehicles with neighbors saying it takes too long for cars to be removed. the city is trying to solve it by telling neighbors there's an app for that.
